Hell no. I’m pretty easy going with my parents and my in laws. But this would not fly at all. Gran, Gramma, Grammy, Nana, Nan, Nanny, Grandma, G’ma, Oma, Susan… all acceptable, have at it. But mom/mum/mama/maman/mummy are all reserved for me.

It’s completely up to you. My son calls my mother a nickname that sounds a lot like Mommy. I thought it was strange initially but now I call her that, too. It’s very clear who my son’s mother is so I’m not bothered. We did go to an event once and he told someone “My mommies are here!” and that made me laugh.

I used to call my step mother’s mother “Mom” when I was little. I don’t think my mother would have been comfortable with that.

My son calls me “mama” and I’ve always liked that name so I wouldn’t be okay with anyone suggesting that as a name they should be called by my child.

newbie1123 : OH HELL NAW!!!! My (future) baby can call my mom and my Mother-In-Law pretty much any other words in the entire world except MAMA. In my native language Mama is what a kid calls his/her mom. It’s not mom or mommy, it’s mama. So this is not going to happen.

Congrats to you for not totally flipping your shit at her, if my Mother-In-Law had asked me that with 10-week pregnancy hormones raging I’d probably have said some pretty unfortunate things, regardless of the size of the crowd.
